Thank you Minman for your monthly pass support!

……

"I'm afraid there's something else going on here, right?" Liu Youfu asked with a smile.

Indeed, when Su Lao first came to Luzon, he once inadvertently touched this woman-in-law, and was slapped a few times in public by this mother-in-law, and he also lost a sum of money. It is said that this woman has bullied a lot of people in the eighth company through her identity, and now that she has fallen to this, she should not even think that there will be today. Rong Guan explained.

"It is said that when this woman and his husband came to Luzon, she was penniless, and today she is considered to have a lot of property, thinking that she is not in business, and she is not farming, isn't all this money snatched from the Balian people?" Su Lao said.

"Since that's the case, then I'll make the decision to give that old woman to Su Lao in private." Liu Youfu said.

"Thank you, sir! The old man was disrespectful. Su Lao bowed and said.

"My lord, the woman in her twenties to the left of the old woman is her daughter, and on the right is her granddaughter." Rong Guan said again.

"This can't be done, if you give it all away, it will break the rules, and it will be difficult for the official to explain it later." Liu Youfu said.

"The villain understands, the villain means that this is really thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, these people were all riding on the heads of the eight companies to and pee, but now they have fallen to this, and three generations of grandparents and grandchildren have been sold as slave girls, which is also retribution." Rong Guan hurriedly explained.

"This is called a gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late, Su Lao is also considered a rich party in the Eighth Company, and this official believes that the three generations of ancestors and grandchildren will not escape your hands!" Wang Mengxiong said with a smile.

"Old Su, you have to be careful of your body!" Liu Youfu also said with a smile.

"Don't laugh at the old man, the old man is just to vent his anger." Su Lao waved his hand and said.

……

The results of this auction were unexpectedly good, and both young and old were snapped up. Some of them may be out of revenge, some may be out for revenge, and of course some are purely for curiosity. Su Lao even spent a lot of money to buy all the three of them.

At this time, Wang Mengxiong also seemed to understand why Zhu Youxiao wanted to vigorously promote colonial plunder, Manila War, although the expeditionary force consumed a huge amount, but through the plundering of the colony, the expeditionary force obtained enough to make up for the consumption, and even had a surplus. In addition, the empire also obtained the whole of Luzon, and the output of Luzon was extremely rich, which could contribute a lot of tax revenue to the empire, and such a large piece of land was enough to house the displaced people in the country.

It was also on this day that the Empire's Kaino lottery was drawn for the first time. It is impossible to argue whether there is really a Zhu Youxiao in history, but he borrowed this name.

Before the lottery draw,"Ming Imperial Daily" has been three consecutive issues of publicity,But as a new thing,Although many people are very curious,But in fact, the sales of the first lottery are not large,And the first issue is still a trial sale,The scope of sales is completely limited to the Beijing Division,This led to the first period only sold more than 1,000 taels of silver dollars,According to Zhu Youxiao's regulations,Two hundred copper dollars of five coins are equal to one or two silver dollars,The first phase also sold nearly 200,000 lottery tickets.

But among the more than 200,000 lottery tickets, Feng Qiuhuang bought 100,000 tickets, Xiaoxiao in order to help Zhu Youxiao promote the lottery, she sent the lottery tickets as a benefit to the employees in Beijing.

In the lottery anti-counterfeiting,Zhu by the school using the later Shanxi ticket number of the anti-counterfeiting technology,And every lottery ticket sold is a ticket stub,This can not only be used for anti-counterfeiting,And easy to count the results of the lottery.

Zhu Youxiao's lottery time is at the same hour, but at the time of Chen, there are already a sea of people outside Zhengyang Gate, whether it is to buy lottery tickets, or not to buy lottery tickets rushed over to see the excitement. And the officials of Shuntianfu isolated the lottery area early in the morning.

There was still a quarter of an hour to go, and the tools for the lottery were lifted. The lottery tools are actually three large basins, and there are ten wax pills in each large basin, and the wax pills are wrapped in the lottery numbers.

The host of the lottery is a eunuch sent from the palace, named Cen Zhong, in fact, most of the people used by the lottery bureau are eunuchs transferred from the palace, and Zhu Youxiao is now sparing no effort to reduce the number of eunuchs.

Cen Zhong raised the loudspeaker, first said the winning rules of the Kainuo lottery, then said the lottery rules, and finally said: "In order to show justice, now I want to ask a boy to come up and assist me in the lottery, is it voluntary?" ”

Although there are many children watching below, the current people are all reserved, Cen Zhong's words can't arouse the interest of the crowd at all, and no one raised their hands.

"I have a one-yuan copper dollar here, and the boy who is willing to come up to assist in the lottery is his." Cen Zhong took out a copper dollar from his pocket and said.

The magic of money is the greatest, and Cen Zhong's copper dollar made it easy for him to find a child to assist him in the lottery.

"From left to right, touch a wax pellet from the first basin." Cen Zhong instructed the child.

The child hurriedly took out a wax pill from the basin and handed it to Cen Zhong. Cen Zhong took the wax pill, opened the wax pill, and then read it aloud: "5, the first number is 5." ”

The person who assisted Cen Zhong next to him hurriedly wrote a big "5" and hung it in front of the first plate.

"Now I touch the second plate of wax pills, and I only touch one." Cen Zhong said again.

……

The draw was short, and the three numbers were quickly caught. After the opening, Cen Zhong said: "Three days later, the prize will be redeemed, and the second phase of the lottery will be sold from tomorrow, and the lottery will be held on the fourth of next month." ”

At this time, someone immediately asked, "Father-in-law, how much is the first prize?" ”

"Three days later, the prize amounts for the first and second prizes will be announced at the point of sale of the lottery, and the specific prize amounts will also be announced in the Ming Imperial Daily." Cen Zhong said.

……

After the lottery, Zhu Youxiao mobilized a large number of people to count more than 200,000 lottery tickets, and the actual number of winners of the first prize exceeded 150 people, and each note could get 228 coins of silver. After the news was announced, it caused a heated discussion among the people, and people's eyes were always attracted by the profits, and those who did not win the lottery were ignored.

People have always only seen a high return on investment from buying lottery tickets. After only a few days of fermentation, it has made the people fall into a frenzy for the new thing of the lottery.

"Did you buy a lottery ticket today?" It only took a few days for this phrase to become the number one buzzword in Beijing. The sales of the second phase of the lottery quickly changed from more than 1,000 taels to more than 10,000 taels, and many people around Beijing also came to buy lottery tickets. The number of lottery outlets quickly expanded from one to five, and the number continues to increase.
